[Blade Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
ICS ROMS FOR THE ZTE BLADE​

These ROMS are not meant for daily use since they are not 100% stable.

They are under development and may have random reboots. I have developed none of the ROMS - These are the works of other developers. Due credits have been given with each ROM. I do not take any responsibility if your phone gets bricked, i.e, it doesn't boot and becomes useless forever. Please read at least the entire first post and these two guides before asking any questions. A big thanks to saaransh9 for giving me thread control

-ZTE Blade - All Things Root

-ZTE Blade FAQ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do I need to make it work?

- ClockworkMod Recovery (If your phone is rooted, then you can use ROM manager for that)

- 210 MB system partition (At least 180mb)

- A Gen2 Blade (Wbaw's Gen2 TPT v10 would be the best if you have a Gen1 device)

- Patience at first boot. Around 5-7 minutes max!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to know your system partition???

1. Download FreeSpace from Google Play

2. Use Titanium Backup

3. type df or df -h in terminal emulator after typing su

If not around 200MB, use the guide below.

This is a port of the ZTE Skate CM9 and has full HW acceleration. I'm not responsible for any bricked devices due to a bad flash or any other thing. Remember that at least a 180MB system partition is required

Rom Details:
